Q. I work with a committee that needs to share and edit documents. Is there a low cost way to do this online?

A. The idea of everyone working in the same location is becoming unnecessary due to the availability of the internet and the growth in applications supporting online collaboration. A key aid is Dropbox.

Dropbox allows you to share documents, images and videos with co-workers. Whole books have been written using Dropbox. One folder for first draft, a second folder for edited versions and so on. Dropbox is available for Windows, Mac and mobile devices and is also available on the web where you can view different versions created over time.
